Emmanuel, determined to win back Antonia, resorts to blackmail and melodrama in a crucial episode filled with special effects.
Please, use the direct download link: Special Effects Another crucial episode of the novel-podcast. The illness has given Emmanuel time to clarify himself and has made him lucid and determined: he wants Antonia back at any cost. To achieve his goal, he is even willing to rig the cards and play a melodramatic role that completely displaces Antonia. It's full-blown blackmail, and he knows it well; but Love, as Plato says, is the son of Expedient and is therefore unscrupulous: Emmanuel is ready for anything to bring down Antonia's defensive barriers and take back what he has always considered to be his. The interpreters are Paul Emmanuel and Alice. During the episode, particularly rich in special effects, as the title suggests, you can listen to covers or instrumental versions of the soundtrack of "A Clockwork Orange" by Stanley Kubrick, "Girl you'll be a woman soon" by Neil Diamond, "Polly" by Nirvana, "It's five o' clock" by Aphrodite's Child, an excerpt from "Scimmia" by Eugenio Finardi and a cover of "I want you" by Bob Dylan.
